Bajanchile's Jasmine

A friend of mine drew this character a few years ago and I had seen the pencils and always said to myself I would ink and colour it up.
Thought it would be a good piece to practice colouring in Sai with. Getting my colouring styles and recreating my Photoshop brushes in Sai has been a bit of a hassle and I hit some bumps but finally got it done.
This colouring style is actually new for me, I was trying to get it to work in PS but it never came out quite right, but it works really well with Sai and using the stylus and tablet; because of how it's done I've dubbed it 'Fade'. It's something of a cross between Soft and Cell colouring with superior colour blending and the ability to add textures as I colour rather than as layer manipulations.
